BUDGET: - Presentation of Preliminary Budget for fiscal year 2010-11: The Manager presented the Draft Preliminary Budget for 2010-11. The operating budget is based on District operation of the treatment facilities and includes a proposed sewer service charge increase of $40. Operating expenses are estimated at $10,496,937, with operating revenue at $10,026,789. Expenditures include: Funding for future retiree health benefits. Increased gas and electricity costs. Operational assistance for completion of a number of tasks required for the upgraded treatment facilities, including Standard Operating Procedures (50 are currently under production and an additional 150-200 remain to be produced), and lockout/tagout procedures for approximately 800 pieces of new equipment to comply with CalOSHA requirements. Permits and fees have increased significantly for treatment plants. This item also includes fines for past violations. The expense item for software maintenance is for costly software licenses and support. The cost of operating chemicals is expected to decrease. A reduction in cost of operating the District s Reclamation Facilities is also anticipated because much of the responsibility is now passed to the rancher. Lab. research and monitoring costs are increasing because of the necessity to undertake a number of special studies as a requirement of the District s new NPDES permit. A reallocation of employee time to appropriate cost centers results in an increase in operation costs for pump stations and collection system and a reduction in administration and engineering. Capital budget revenue is projected to be approximately $100,000 less than 2009-10. Property taxes are not expected to increase because of property re-assessments. Connection charges will be lower because the Whole Foods build-out is complete and no new developments are projected. Interest earnings are less because rates have dropped and most of the reserves have been used to repay the Zions First Bank line of credit now that State Revolving Loan funds have been received. Capital improvement projects include Wastewater Facilities Treatment Plant Upgrade Contract C, Phase 1, approved by the Board at their May 10 th Board meeting. Also budgeted is Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Contract D Recycled Water Project in the amount of $3,000,000. The Manager explained that there is potential,

through the North Bay Water Re-Use Authority, for a portion of the cost to be paid through the federal Bureau of Land Management. June 14, 2010 Page 5 The Manager reported that when the upgrade project commenced, it was anticipated that the District would be issuing bonds for $20 million. It now appears that it will be only $5 million. Member Quesada asked about lubricants for the blowers at the new treatment facilities. After brief discussion with John Bailey, Veolia Water, the consensus of the Board was to follow manufacturer s recommendations. President Di Giorgio opened the meeting for public comment. Receiving no comment, he called for Board comments. Member Long commented on the budgeted amount for gas and electricity and how it might be reduced. The Manager responded that the budget was based on only one month s experience with the new facilities and it was the best estimate based on the information available. Adoption of the Preliminary Budget was scheduled for June 28 th. STAFF REPORTS: - North Bay Watershed Association: The Manager reported that the NBWA Board met at the District Office on June 4 th. The budget for the next fiscal year was reviewed. NBWA is attempting to hold their budget close to last year. Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act Report: The Deputy Manager presented the UPCCA report for fiscal year 2009-10. The report is required as a condition of utilizing cost accounting procedures under Public Contracts Code Section 22000 et seq. For fiscal year 2009-10 the District utilized the Act provisions to complete 3 projects: 1. Account 72803 Collection System. Total amount $176,734, utilizing 8 contractors. 2. Account 72804 Reclamation Facilities. Total amount $95,641, utilizing 4 contractors. 3. Account 72805 Treatment Plant and Pump Stations. Total amount $102,223, utilizing 5 contractors. The Manager noted that although the Act allows alternative bidding up to $125,000, the District generally doesn t use it for projects more than $50,000.

The Developer is Barker Pacific Group, Novato CA, they are the owners of record. The following items have been constructed to complete this project; 1,234 Linear feet of 8 PVC Sewer Main (to Bay Mud Standards). 8 Manholes 775 linear feet of 4 PVC Laterals 1 each Remodel existing manhole at point of connection District staff estimated the cost of construction to be $240,045.00 ALTERNATIVES: Do not accept the Sewer Main Extension for The Landing Subdivision. BUDGET INFORMATION: The acceptance of this project will Increase District s assets by $190,375.00 DEPT. MGR. : MANAGER S APPROVAL:

SB1016 Per Capita Disposal Measurement System Per Capita Disposal Rate for 2009 According to the CA Waste Management Board, the purpose of the new per capita disposal measurement system [Wiggins, SB 1016]) is to make the process of goal measurement as established by AB939, the Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 simpler, more timely, and more accurate. SB 1016 changes reporting requirements to a disposal-based indicator--the per capita disposal rate--which uses only two factors: a jurisdiction's population (or in some cases employment) and its disposal, as reported by disposal facilities. Old Measurement System 1. Calculated diversion rate based on estimated generation actual disposal plus diversion (not all diversion captured ) 2. Often complex and inaccurate 3. Stakeholders wanted system changed New System SB1016 Per Capita Disposal Measurement System 1. Focus on PROGRAMS rather than numbers 2. Maintains AB939 50% diversion requirement 3. Measures disposal instead of diversion 4. Disposal measurement is only ONE factor in compliance 5. Accounts for growth 6. Eliminates complex formulas 7. CIWMB will evaluate jurisdiction based on how well they are implementing programs as set forth in SRRE and Annual Report Calculation for Annual per Capita Disposal Rate To calculate base period target rate: Average 2003 2006 generation rates. Divide by 2 to get disposal for jurisdiction if at 50% diversion Avg. 2003-2006 generation = 139,115/2 = 69,557= disposal at 50%diversion Base Period Per Capita Disposal Target = 7.62 pounds per person per day/ 50% = 3.81 pounds Annual Per Capita Disposal Rate Disposal Tons x 2000 pounds /Population/365 = Pounds per Person per Day Disposed 2009 Disposal Tons = 35,080 35,080 x 2000/50,000/365 = 3.84 Pounds per Person per Day 50% of 3.84 pounds per person per day = 1.92 pounds this is BELOW the Base Period target rate

Marin Solid and Hazardous Waste JPA Proposed Zero Waste Programs and FY 2010/2011 Budget Background of the JPA In 1996, the county and cities of Marin created the County of Marin Hazardous and Solid Waste Joint Powers Authority. Its purpose was to comply with all AB939 planning and administration requirements which were multijurisdictional in nature, while recognizing that individual members may operate and develop their own programs. Membership in the Authority was limited to the County, cities and towns, even though 11 separate districts hold waste franchise agreements regulating rates and programs in their respective areas. In Novato, although the City is a member of the JPA, it is the Sanitary District that holds the waste franchise and regulates rates and programs. To account for both the multi-jurisdictional issues and individual member programs, the JPA Agreement sets forth 2 Articles: Article 6.1 Basic Programs, which include the minimum programs of the Authority to be conducted on a multijurisdictional basis, including planning, monitoring, compliance and tracking legislation. All other programs would be considered Article 6.2 Agency Programs, by which member agencies would voluntarily choose to participate and fund programs by formal action of their individual governing boards. The JPA contracts with the County to provide staff to administer the Article 6.1 Basic programs. Funding for the programs is established by tip fees on waste disposed by the franchised haulers and solid waste facility operators. Novato participates in all the 6.1 Basic Programs, but elected to develop its own household hazardous waste programs, under the 6.2 Article. For the past 14 years, the JPA s primary function was to prepare the AB939 planning documents and monitor and report compliance with the AB939 diversion requirements. On a county-wide basis, Marin has achieved a 75% diversion rate, exceeding the state mandated goal of 50%. Zero Waste In 2007, the JPA adopted a zero waste resolution, which set a goal of 80% diversion by 2012 and zero waste by 2025. In 2008, the JPA contracted with R3 Consulting Group to prepare a Zero Waste Feasibility Study to implement the JPA zero waste goals and focus on reducing waste generation and ensuring resources are used to their greatest potential. The draft Zero Waste Plan was released in August 2009. One public meeting was held at the Civic Center on September 17 th to review the plan and receive comments. In addition, the consultant conducted a presentation for the Marin AB939 Local Task Force and the JPA Executive Committee. The 1

consultants met with the franchised haulers, JPA staff, JPA Executive Committee, Board of Supervisors and Local Task Force. They used data from the disposal/diversion reports from the JPA, the Marin Sanitary Service waste characterization report produced in 2007 and reports provided by franchised haulers. Sanitary District Solid Waste Committee members were regularly updated regarding the draft plan at Committee meetings. Comments received at the Committee meeting, along with additional staff comments, were forwarded to the JPA for inclusion in the Final Plan. Comments included the District s concern over Plan costs and duplicative programs. In January, 2010, the JPA Board accepted the Zero Waste Feasibility Study and accepted the consultant s recommendation to reduce disposal by 95% Summary of Zero Waste Study and Recommendations The study provided an analysis of all member agency and JPA existing programs. Regional programs consist of the County Green Business program, Green Building programs and AB939 planning and reporting responsibilities conducted by the JPA. The JPA also provides for a web site and some limited public outreach. Member agency programs are conducted by the haulers, the member agencies and districts. In Novato, these programs are conducted by the Sanitary District, Novato Disposal and HHW and E-Waste contractors and consist of weekly waste, recycling and green waste collection; semi-annual clean-up week collection; household hazardous waste facility services; semi-annual E-Waste collection program; Christmas tree recycling and backyard compost bin distribution. Outreach is provided through the newsletter, fliers and brochures, the Solid Waste Work Plan, and a comprehensive recycling guide. The report s recommendations are separated into 2 phases: recommendations the JPA should take and recommendations that the JPA member agencies should take. In general, the report recommends: Phase I JPA Tasks 1. Increasing communication with other county departments about programs 2. Increasing JPA s administration of member agency and countywide programs 3. Assist with solid waste and waste diversion facilities permitting Phase II JPA Member Agency Tasks 4. Member agencies should revise solid waste ordinances and franchise agreements 2

5. Adopt a construction/demolition ordinance 6. Adopt multi-family/commercial recycling ordinance. 7. Promote disposal bans and encourage reduced consumption 8. Implement a wet/dry collection route system; offer unlimited green waste collection; add new materials to the recycling stream; add food waste to green waste collection services; implement food waste digestion and promote backyard composting The report indicated that all the recommended programs would cost an estimated $330,000 for the region on an annual basis, plus a one time cost of up to $135,000 for each member agency and solid waste rate increases ranging from 1% - 10%. JPA FY 2010/2011 Budget for Zero Waste Programs On June 24, 2010, the JPA Board adopted a budget for FY 2010/2011 which includes funding for zero waste programs. The adopted budget includes over $768,400 for the following zero waste programs: $100,000 to contract with a consultant to develop a Zero Waste Tool Kit, to include a model construction & demolition ordinance, a model commercial/multi-family recycling ordinance, model franchise agreement language and implementation assistance $300,000 to assist local agencies in implementing the Tool Kit programs $200,000 to contract with an advertising agency to produce a public education program to encourage waste reduction behavior change in the County. $168,401 to hire a zero waste coordinator to implement the zero waste programs Novato is a strong supporter of zero waste the City passed a zero waste resolution in 2007. In addition, Novato has already enacted most of the deliverables included in the proposed Zero Waste Tool Kit, including: A construction and demolition ordinance. An updated solid waste franchise agreement adopted in 2005 A Green Building ordinance Multifamily and commercial recycling ordinances to be updated and outreach programs to be conducted as part of the state mandated AB32 programs and included in our FY2010/2011 budget Food waste composting serving 25% of residential customers with plans to extend it District-wide. 3

District staff attended the JPA Board meeting and requested the Board to budget these Zero Waste programs as part of their 6.2 member programs, as outlined in the JPA agreement, rather than 6.1 Basic Programs of the Authority. (see attached letter). Since the Zero Waste programs are not state mandates, nor are they part of the AB939 required programs, the District felt that the most cost effective and efficient way for Novato to meet the Zero Waste goals was to continue to work on programs at a local level and fund their own successful programs. The District is sensitive to the climate of reduced revenues and doing more with less. Although JPA staff indicated that the Zero Waste programs were considered 6.2 member programs, the JPA Board adopted their budget with the full $768,400 additional revenue required for these programs under the 6.1 Article. To fund these programs, the per ton tip fee assessed on solid waste haulers and facilities will increase from $4.28 per ton to $6.59 per ton. For Novato, fees assessed against Novato Disposal will increase from $1.35 per ton to $2.69 per ton, amounting to an annual increase of over 68% - ($49,713 to $83,356.) This does not include any future funding and rate increases that will likely be required in Novato for expansion of food waste composting, increased C&D diversion and outreach programs for mandated commercial and multi-family recycling. Next Steps Staff is looking to the Board for some additional direction on these issues. There are several items which your Board could consider, to include: 1. Direct staff to draft the District s own Zero Waste resolution with an accompanying implementation program. (Already included in the District Solid Waste budget for FY2010/2011 is funding for updating the Solid Waste Work Plan to account for zero waste policies.) 2. Request that JPA staff make a presentation to the District Board regarding the zero waste programs. Currently JPA staff is scheduled to make a presentation to the Novato City Council at their Council meeting on July 27. 3. Request District staff to review the option of funding these programs at the District level, rather than funding the JPA. 4
